The Gameweek shifts to the three o’clock kick-offs, with half a dozen matches providing the focus for Fantasy managers, before Liverpool host Villa at Anfield for the evening clash.

It’s fair to say that the bulk of our attention will turn to Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea look to maintain their 100% start to the season against the only side who can match that record – Swansea City. All eyes will be on Diego Costa who has four goals to his name and sports the armbands for thousands of Fantasy managers this weekend.

Elsewhere, we’ve big expectations of Ronald Koeman’s new-look Saints at home to Newcastle, while we’re also monitoring the performances of budget midfield options – Wilfried Zaha and George Boyd – in Palace’s meeting with Burnley at Selhurst Park; both are named in the starting lineup.

The remaining three encounters find Sunderland hosting Spurs, Stoke looking to build on their Etihad victory against Leicester at the Britannia and West Brom taking on Everton at the Hawthorns.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    The best thing that Sterling can do for me now - is stay riveted to that bench!!! 😆

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Seems unlikely!

    2. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      I wish 🙁

      Rooney vc, forgot to switch it at the last minute

    3. Fantasy furball
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Theres a chance if Brendan Rodgers has Sterling (c) and Costa (VC)

  5. Pedram
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    I think i'm selling Begovic, Stoke is just so inconsistent this season

    1. Ludo
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      3 goals conceded in 4 games. Frustrating, but I'm happy to keep him in for the forseeable future, will still pick up clean sheets, can't see anyone in the price range (except Forster) outscoring him.

  6. GoonerByron
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Hazard and Terry are starting to seem like big issues that are eating up a lot of my cash..

    1. JWF
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Agreed. I've got them both and think it's time to start planning their exits.

    2. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Costa and Fab the only two essential Chelsea

  7. Every Dog Has Its Day
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Sterling is not playing he's my Vice Captain.

    I have Siggy as automatic sub will he get the Vice Captain?

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      If only

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Who's your captain?

    3. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      No

    4. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Nope. Captain, Vice Captain. That's it. If neither play, you get nothing.

  8. The Sarjeant
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    I did Ward-Prowse > Sterling (c) for a -4. Screw you life!

  9. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Stoke

    Win @ City
    Lose to Leicester at home

    Definitely a team to avoid

    1. Ludo
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Or, Leicester are the most underrated side on here. Five points from EVE/che/ARS/sto is very promising.

  10. Vardy Gras PBFC
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    How many will Costa score with a red flag?!

    1. Sebbo29
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      at least a quadruplie

  11. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    52 with Balo (C) and any potential Sterling points

  12. Every Dog Has Its Day
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Time to flog Naismith for Pelle now that Europa league is almost here

  13. supperspout
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    looks like some Bony points

  14. Yome
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    TotalFPL down for anyone?

    1. Sarnab
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      me

      1. Yome
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        All right, they have an issue then

    2. RyanC
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Yup

    3. JWF
      • 16 Years

    4. Fray Bentos
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

    1. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

  16. mojoindojo
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Ivan and Shawcross give me paltry 4 while Duff and Moore on bench say Hi with 14 post baps

  17. Texas Pete
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Another poor GW. Need Balo to rip it up tomorrow and Sterling to come on at some point so I don't get Arfield's -1

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      If I WC he's getting replaced by Chadli.

    • 11 Years

    1. dodger49

      1. The Iron Tulip
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

  23. RyanC
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Hands up Hazard owners.

    Two hands up Hazard captainers.

    Foot in the air if you're finally doing Haz > Fab this week.

  24. Damo.
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Balotelli getting anything would help

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Wish I had had the stones to captain him instead of Sterling

  25. Ricky - it doesn\'t ta…
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

  26. CellinoArmy
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    So last gw i benched all 3 stoke players (Bego, Pieters and Diouf), and they got a combined total of 286 points. AGAINST MAN FREAKING CITY. This week i play all 3 and get 4. WOW. AGAINST LEICESTER! freaking logic/10. Honestly, why do i even bother.

    1. CellinoArmy
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      *26 lol not 286

    Really need Mata and Rooney to come strong now. Or a Hendo hat-trick. What are the odds..

    1. sweglet
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      well odds of mata starting ar errrr low

      1. dhawk97
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        He'll start. Falcao not ready

  28. DIegoCosta19
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    i think the coloured flag is just the UKs warning signal that Costa is about to F*** s*** up

  29. Yome
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Thinking of ditching Krul, Dummet, Terry, Rooney... tempted to WC

    1. Eoin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Why Terry?

  30. Eoin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    As a non-Costa owner, the only question I should be asking myself now is when do I bring him in rather than 'if,' surely?

    1. havel
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      ASAP.
